Over K160 million has been allocated by the National Government for the construction of a Fly-over pass bridge to be built in Port Moresby.
This is another major road infrastructure development for the capital which will be host to a number of international events in the next few years.
Plans for the construction of the fly-over from Kookaburra Street to Erima had been developed a few years ago; however, that idea was shelved due to insufficient funding.
Over the weekend, contracts between the state and New Zealand Company Hawkins Construction were signed at Government House. Governor General Sir Michael Ogio presided over the signing.
Also present to witness was NCDC Acting City Manager Leslie Alu. He said the infrastructure projects were needed for upcoming international events.
Hawkins Constructions Country Manager and Director Seth Pardoe said the company has an extensive record in building similar infrastructures.
He said the Erima fly-over will take an estimated 108 weeks to complete.
The National Government’s funding has been dissected into seven key road projects; six have already been signed.
The last road remaining is the proposed Paga Hill Ring Road.
